I do not desire to be understood as limiting myself to the details of construction and arrangement as herein described and illustrated, as it is manifest that variations and modifications may be made in the features of construction and arrangement in the adaptation of the device to various conditions of use without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention and improvements. I therefore reserve the right to all such variation and modification as properly falls within the scope of myinvention and the terms of the following claim.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent A device of the class described, comprising a body and a neck the lower inside walls of which latter incline inwardly to the juncture of the body and neck, a member shaped like a threadless screw with a head having a flat top and sides inclined complementary to the inside walls of the neck adjoining the junction of the body and neck and with a tapering shank fitting closely in the junction of the body and neck at its upper end and having its lower and smaller end flattened and perforated, and a locking device embodying a piece of Wire having a central loop seated in said perforation and ends extending in opposite directions.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name in the presence of the subscribing Witnesses.
